Hello devs, I'm currently in the process of preparing the Status report (to be given at Zurihac/HIW). If you you have a feature that made it into GHC during the last year or something big you are working on you think we should highlight during the talk let me know. I will go through the release notes to look for things but it would be a shame if something slips through the cracks! Andreas
It’d be good to mention bytecode object files and bytecode libraries, implemented by Matt Rodrigo

Hi folks, Perhaps it would be good to mention hugepages (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/4523) (not yet merged). Part of that is adjusting the megablock size to align with the hugepage size on most architectures. It would be good to make the community aware of this change early, and it would be great if some folks could step forward to test it, since changing one of these magic constants can be risky. What will likely happen is that we will make this optional to begin with, so you might have to do a custom build of the RTS/GHC to get hugepages support.

You might want to mention all the work on reinstallable base that Rodrigo and Wolfgang have been working so hard on. Simon On Mon, 1 Jun 2026 at 15:07, Andreas Klebinger via ghc-devs < ghc-devs@haskell.org> wrote:
